Chapter 825: Battle with the foster family

Inside the farmhouse.

Sitting with Xiaoyao in the warm living room, Xia You picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

Xiaoyao also picked up the biscuits on the table and put them in her mouth, taking small bites.

And in front of them was the family that owned the farm.

This is a family of three that looks very loving and harmonious. First of all, there is the girl with twin ponytails whom they just met outside the farm. Through the introduction just now, we learned that her name is Dai Mei, and the middle-aged couple next to her are her father Karasa and mother Shimei.

However, although they are middle-aged and run such a large farm, the couple does not look old at all, nor do they have the vicissitudes of life from years of wind and sun. On the contrary, perhaps because they take good care of themselves, they look much younger than their actual age.

Looking at the layout here, it is not only very warm, but also clean and tidy. There is none of the stereotypical sense of rural shabbyness. This shows that at least this family lives a pretty good life!

"By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves yet." Xia You put down the teacup and smiled, "My name is Xia You, I'm a trainer, and I'm currently traveling in Kanto. I'm really sorry to bother you this time."

Xiaoyao also quickly said: "I am Xiaoyao, a coordination trainer, and a companion of Brother Xia You. I am also traveling around, and my goal is to become a top coordination trainer!"

"A top coordination trainer!" Shimei and Karasa looked at each other, then looked at their daughter at the same time and said with a smile, "Our Daimei also wants to become a coordination trainer, but..."

Following the two people's gaze, Xia You and Xiao Yao's attention naturally focused on Dai Mei.

"But what's wrong?" Xiaoyao asked, "Can't everyone become a coordination trainer? Is it that you don't want to?"

"Of course not!" Karasa shook her head quickly. "On the contrary, we often encourage her to travel as a coordinator trainer to accumulate various experiences for the future. It's just that..."

Hearing his words, his daughter Dai Mei felt ashamed and embarrassed, and lowered her head with a complicated expression.

Xia You knew that if it was Xiaozhi's journey, at this point, according to the normal flow of the story, he should express his difficulties and thoughts, and then Xiaozhi would help solve them.

Sure enough, as a companion who had traveled with Xiaozhi before, Xiaoyao almost subconsciously blurted out: "Just what? Did something happen?"

"Her situation is somewhat special." Mother Nozomi sighed, "In short, it is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Xiaoyao could only change the subject.

"Um...I wonder what this farm is used for?"

"In fact, you may have seen it when you came here." Karasa did not hide it, but introduced, "This farm is a place that specializes in accepting commissions and helping people hatch Pokémon eggs!"

"Hatching Pokémon? Eggs?" Xiaoyao was stunned. Although she knew that Pokémon were hatched from eggs, she had never seen one!

"That's right." Nozomi smiled, "Since you're here, do you want to go for a tour?"

Xiaoyao was obviously a little moved, and after looking at Xia You and seeing him nod to her, she quickly smiled at the two of them and said, "Okay, I have never seen a Pokémon egg before. If possible, please let me see it!"

Because they still had farm work to do, Karasa and Hime didn't have much time, so the task of showing Xia You and Xiao Yao around naturally fell on their daughter Dai Mei.

For Dai Mei, it would be great if she could avoid doing farm work and take some time off openly, so she was naturally willing to do so.

Under her leadership, Xia You and Xiao Yao walked out of the room and left the farmhouse.

While falling a few steps behind and following Dai Mei to other places, Xiao Yao also looked at Xia You in confusion.

Although the travel time was not that long, she roughly understood Xia You's character and knew that he seemed unwilling to waste time on such trivial matters.

Can……

Why did he agree to come here with me today?

As a woman with a sixth sense, Xiaoyao vaguely felt that things were not that simple. It gave her a feeling that... it was the same as when she first visited the Oak Research Institute.

This feeling is very magical, vague and indescribable, and there is no scientific basis at all. It is as if Brother Xia You himself knew something in advance!

I remembered that the last time I visited Oak Laboratory, I got Squirtle.

What about this time…?

Somehow, her heartbeat suddenly quickened a little.

The layout of this farm is very interesting. Perhaps for the convenience of supervision, four larger warehouses are built around a tall tower, like a flat windmill. The farmhouse where they just visited is like the base of the windmill.

Coming out of the farmhouse, under the leadership of Dai Mei, they first entered one of the warehouses. As soon as they entered, they saw two rows of shelves filled with various Pokémon eggs.

These eggs are of different sizes and colors, and look varied. The patterns on the eggs are dazzling, and it is impossible to tell which Pokémon laid them. At first glance, it is really shocking.

"Wow, so many eggs!"

Xiaoyao exclaimed in amazement. In fact, not to mention her, even Xia You was seeing so many Pokémon eggs for the first time and was equally amazed.

Rubbing her nose, Dai Mei smiled complacently and said, "Isn't it spectacular? These are eggs that others entrusted us to hatch. We take great care of each one of them!"

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Xia You moved closer to one of the pink eggs with a halo of light on it and looked at it carefully.

The temperature in the room is not low, and it seems that the growth of the eggs has been taken into consideration. There is a number plate in front of each egg, apparently for the convenience of management. There is also a soft pad under the egg to ensure that the egg will not fall over. The surface of the egg is also smooth and clean, and it seems that someone wipes it frequently. It can be seen that it is indeed taken care of very carefully.

"What are these eggs?" he asked.

Dai Mei thought for a moment and said, "There are Pichu, Vulpix, Growlithe, Ponytail, and Kentaro. In short, there are many, many!"

Xia You nodded. Although there were so many eggs, he found that most of them were actually eggs of Pokémon from the Kanto region, and they were all eggs of common Pokémon.

This is not surprising. After all, these eggs are rare. Unless the owner cannot raise them well and does not have much time, the owner will not easily deposit them here for raising.

At this time, Xiaoyao came to another row of shelves and saw that although there were many eggs here, it seemed a little different from the other shelves. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so few eggs here?"

"Those are my eggs." Dai Mei shrugged. "For various reasons, some people abandoned the eggs they left here. We had no choice but to raise them ourselves. By the way, you came at the right time. You probably haven't seen a Pokémon hatch, right? A Pokémon is about to hatch. Do you want to stay and take a look?"

This time, before Xiaoyao could speak, Xia You nodded and agreed.

"Then we won't be polite."

After hearing what he said, Xiaoyao became more certain of his guess!

Brother Xia You must have some purpose!

In fact, her guess was not wrong at all. Xia You certainly didn't accompany Xiaoyao to visit the farm on a whim.

In fact, according to the anime story, Xiaoyao will get her second Pokémon here after coming to Kanto. In order to leave no regrets, Xia You naturally has to make this happen. This is why he would waste time and stay here.

Unfortunately, no matter whether Xiaoyao guessed something or not, this matter was destined to remain hidden in Xia You's heart for the rest of her life, and she could not tell Xiaoyao about it.

After coming out of the warehouse, the three of them came to the open space outside. At this time, Dai Mei suddenly looked at Xiaoyao with burning eyes.

"Xiaoyao, let's have a competition!"

"Eh?" Xiaoyao was stunned when she heard that. She looked at the girl who was about her own age and asked in surprise, "Why do we have to compete?"

"Of course it's because of what my parents said in the room." Dai Mei raised her head, "I want to prove to them that there is no need to travel. I can still practice and train here and become an excellent coordination trainer!"

"That does make sense." Xiaoyao scratched her cheek with her fingers, "Then why don't you just tell your parents directly?"

"I..." Dai Mei hesitated for a moment, then blushed, "Of course I want to say it, but they don't agree with this point of view at all. They think that only by traveling can you truly see the world, so I want to compete with you to prove it to them!"

"Show your strength?" Xiaoyao nodded, "So all I have to do is fight you, right?"

"Yes!" Dai Mei nodded vigorously. "You just won the Golden Conference, so as long as I can tie with you, my parents will definitely recognize my strength!"

After taking a look at the confident look on her face, Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything. Instead, he went back to Xia You and asked for his opinion in a low voice.

"Brother Xia You, what should we do now?"

It can be seen that Xiaoyao has not made up her mind whether or not to fight with Dai Mei.

After all, for her, it was an indiscreet visit, and she was treated to tea, snacks, and a tour of the warehouse. It could be said that the hospitality was very good. She already felt bad about it, and now she had to fight with Dai Mei under such circumstances. It seemed that no matter whether she won or lost, it was a little inappropriate.

"Go ahead and fight." Fortunately, Xia You had already made the decision for her. He smiled and said, "She's just an ignorant little girl. If you don't defeat her, she will really think that winning the tournament is so easy! And I don't agree with doing things behind closed doors. Wake her up early and help her parents a lot."

"I understand."

Xia You's words naturally played a decisive role. Since he said so, Xiaoyao had nothing to hesitate about.

Walking in front of Dai Mei again, Xiaoyao was about to take out the Poké Ball from his waist bag, but he was in trouble again.

Although Brother Xia You asked me to defeat Dai Mei, how should I do it?

Is it to use the strong chicken to try its best to defeat her?

Or should I use Squirtle to deal with her as much as possible?

After much thought, she decided to give the decision to Dai Mei herself.

With this in mind, she took out three Poké Balls at once and released three different Pokémon.

As the blue light flashed, RoboPunk, Squirtle and Snorlax appeared in front of Dai Mei at the same time.

Seeing these three Pokémon, Dai Mei was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

"These three are all the Pokémon I carry." Xiaoyao spread his hands, "Although you want to compete with me, I don't know what I can use to fight you, so you should choose it yourself."

If other coordinating trainers heard this, they would definitely think that Xiaoyao was looking down on them. However, Dai Mei was not a trainer. She was just a little girl who had never even left the house. Naturally, she would not think about those things. Instead, she looked at the three Pokémon in front of her seriously.

Because she had watched the Golden Conference, she also knew that ChickenStrong and Squirtle had had outstanding performances at the conference, so fighting them was somewhat risky.

The only option left is...

Dai Mei set her eyes on Snorlax and saw that it was just sitting there blankly, as if it had not woken up yet and looked listless, so she pointed at it.

"I'll choose this little Snorlax!"

To be honest, Xiaoyao didn't expect Dai Mei to choose Snorlax.

After all, she had just said that she wanted to prove her ability to her parents, but in the blink of an eye, she chose the weakest one among them.

Of course, it is also possible that Dai Mei is unaware and doesn't know that her little Snorlax has never experienced a battle, but the way she carefully considered and said "I bet it's not that powerful" made Xiaoyao feel that she should think so too.

"My little Snorlax..."

Xiaoyao was about to say something, but saw Dai Mei impatiently taking out the Poké Ball and releasing her Pokémon.

As the blue light flashed, a Queen Flower appeared in front of Snorlax. It seemed that she was afraid that Xiaoyao would go back on her word, so she gave the order before even waiting for Chicken Little and Squirtle to get far away.

"Royale, show them your gorgeous petal dance!"

The Queen of Flowers lowered its body and aimed the pistil on its head at Snorlax. Then a bunch of pink petals burst out and hit Snorlax in an instant.

Snorlax didn't even have the thought of dodging before being hit directly.

In fact, judging from the fact that Virago can use this move and is already in the third stage of evolution, its overall strength is still good, otherwise it would not have been possible to hit Snorlax so accurately.

After being attacked, Snorlax was obviously stunned and unfortunately triggered a state of confusion, jumping around randomly.

However, perhaps it was because of the confusion, but without being conscious, Snorlax actually raised both arms and subconsciously performed the "command" move!

When using this move, one will be randomly selected from most of the known moves to attack. It can be said that even the user himself does not know what he will use.

If you are lucky, you will be able to perform some extremely powerful moves, but if you are unlucky, you will hurt yourself instead.

In short, it is a double-edged sword that is difficult to use and very dangerous!

Not to mention that Snorlax was in a state of confusion at this time!

Seeing this move, even Dai Mei, who had just succeeded, couldn't help but swallow her saliva and became cautious!

Come on, let me see the strength of the winner of the Golden Conference!
